JavaDocshttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/764/1992/#msg_1992
It takes a lot of time to figure out where the javadocs are located on
the eclipse.org site. Would be useful for many users/developers who
visit the site to locate the javadocs, if you could do provision for
downloading javadocs seperately OR providing link on the homepage to
javadocs.

I'll assume this person meant the Platform javadocs, but I'll also
assume that lots of projects produce javadocs as well. Or maybe they
don't. I do know that JavaDocs are a great resource for develoipers and
it would be interesting to have a repository that would list all the
JavaDoc locations at Eclipse.

Gathering this doc for all projects in one place is probably a good idea.

Oh yeah. Where is the javadoc? is a bit of a FAQ. It wouldn't hurt to
point out that the javadoc for the current version is in SDK Help, too.

Actually, when I was using Eclipse as a developer before joining the
Foundation, my number 1 complaint was the difficulty of downloading
"Eclipse" (I knew nothing of the other projects, I just wanted the IDE)
and using a mirror site. That's why it was one of the first things I
"enhanced".

The Eclipse JavaDocs are integrated into Eclipse help. When Eclipse
help refers to a specific class, it's usually a link to the JavaDoc for
that class.

If I could make a request: be able to access the Eclipse JavaDocs
*without* having to go through general Eclipse help first. This is a
pain when I just need to quickly look up a class' API. Yes, I know I
can do this in Eclipse itself as well ... I just prefer the web interface.

On Sun's website you can use the sitewide search to find any class in
the Java JavaDocs. The matching class names are always the first result
displayed. It would be nice if I could just do a search for TableViewer
on the Eclipse website and the first search result is the TableViewer
JavaDoc, just like Sun's site.

I didn't explain in enough detail. From one of the above links, go to
Platform Plugin Developer Guide > Reference > API Reference. This takes
you to the generated javadoc pages. I fully agree with everyone that
the javadoc is buried and could be made more prominent, but it is there.
